2019 Inclusive Employment

We currently have a grant opportunity for inclusive employment projects of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in Arizona.

The ADDPC will award funds to winning grantees that design and implement a best practice or promising program that leads to employment for people with I/DDD in an inclusive, non-segregated setting. This could include recruitment, training, job retention, job supports, promotions, educating businesses, creating a diverse and culturally competent workforce, and other evidence-based practices that promote competitive integrated employment.

The grant is available to nonprofits, for-profits, local government entities, community colleges or universities, tribal governments or a combination of these groups. The total amount of funding available is $125,000 over a 12-month period. Multiple awards may be made.

A pre-application conference is scheduled for May 6, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. Arizona Time at our Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council office, located at 3839 North Third Street, Suite 306, Phoenix, Arizona 85012. If unable to attend in person, teleconferencing is available by dialing 1-240-454-0879, Access Code 806-463-229 #.
